Sunday morning the newly
re-formed FFA Alumni Association had members on hand to offer
support to the kids in their fundraising effort. The LCHS FFA
has had an alumni association in the past. Recently a group of
former FFA alumni decided to try to bring a group together again.

The breakfast Sunday was a
debut of the association at work. Dave Opperman, treasurer, said there was a secondary reason for the
event, and that is to raise awareness of the alumni association in
hopes that former FFA members will come back and join fellow alums
to grow the group.

Marc Short, president of the group, also said, "We want to
reinvigorate the alumni association."

on.

In addition to the great food, diners had a
variety of bidding choices in a silent auction going on during the
day. A live auction also took place at 10:30, to a packed
house.
